Regular readers of my blogs and reviews will know what that I am an enormous fanboy of a new, indie author by the name of Ken Fry. When Ken issues a new book, I sit up and take notice, before clicking on the link and downloading it to read. Ken has been unkindly compared to Ludlum and Dan Brown in the past. I say unkindly, because I've read all of Ken's books and I think he's better than either of those two illustrious authors. Personally, I would do it the other way and compare Ludlum and Brown to Ken Fry. I've often talked about one of the joys of being an indie author and reviewer as being that I get to discover new, exciting talent before anyone else and get to share that with the world. Ken, may be getting a little long in the tooth, but he is one of the freshest, most exciting, new indie authors in the marketplace today.It gives me enormous pleasure, therefore, to be able to present Ken's new book on Sierra Leone for your delight and delectation.
